Lily is hilarious, she is so strong and bright. She makes her needs and wants known. Brett's new nickname for her is Tiger Lily, she has what Brett calls her "war chant" when Lukas takes something from her, she wants something she cannot reach, or is in any kind of situation she deems distressful. Not a cry, but she is getting mad, and quickly, I am amazed at her range of emotion in a span of about 2 minutes, it is incredible.
Tonight at dinner, I cut up some of her wild salmon, avocado, and broccoli, and put it on her plate on the table. She would not eat, so I pick up a piece of avocado and try to put it in her mouth, she pushes my hand away. She loves avocado, my frustration begins...all this time she is watching Lukas and I pointing to the table, I finally figure out that she wants a fork, so I get her a little fork to hold while she eats. After a few minutes, she is getting pretty frustrated that she is unable to actually get anything in her mouth. So I intervene, and put some salmon on the fork and attempt to put it in her mouth for her. She violently shakes her head at me. Fine, so I put the fork down, with the salmon still securely attached. Perfect. She picks up the fork with a huge grin on her face and puts it in her mouth. Exactly what she wanted, me to help her put the food on the fork, so she could put it in her mouth herself. Which is exactly how she ate the rest of her dinner.
